Alan Partridge to Co- Host TFI Christmas Special

None other than Alan Partridge will co-host the TFI Friday Christmas Special alongside Chris Evans.The show which was originally broadcast in the late 1990’s and subsequently ended and was resurrected earlier this year.

Evans, who hosts the weekly entertainment show said: "Having staggered through nearly 200 TFI Friday rehearsals and live shows over the years, it'll be a relief to see how it should be done by Norfolk's master of broadcasting".

Some of the guests included in the line-up include James Corden, Sir Tom Jones, Jack Whitehall and Lee Mack.There will also be appearances from Bryan Adams, Lianne La Havas and Elle King.Partridge AKA Steve Coogan said on the subject "'I was honoured to receive the invitation to co-present 'Thank Frig It's Friday'.

He added: "The fee being offered was more than generous, and as soon as I received photographic evidence that my dressing room had its own shower, I signed on the dotted line,". Partridge then went on to say: "My only slight niggle is that they refused to pay for my transport".

The episode will air on Friday December 18th and will run for 90 minutes.
